Women’s Ministry
Cultivating deep faith in a loving community of women.
Deep Faith. Strong Community. Bold Living for Christ.
At River West, our Women’s Ministry exists to build a community of Christ among women–where deep faith is nurtured through God’s Word, lasting friendships are formed, and lives are shaped to reflect His love in the world.
Our vision is to raise up generations of women who love God’s Word, love one another, and live boldly for the glory of Christ.
The River
Come to The River and experience a transformative Bible study designed for women of all ages and stages of life. Each week, from September through May, we gather for Spirit-filled worship, live teaching, small group discussion, prayer, and meaningful fellowship. The River follows an inductive approach to Scripture—inviting women to explore the depth of God’s Word, while growing in faith, and discovering the joy of Christian community. Whether you're new to Bible study or a seasoned student of Scripture, please come and join us at The River.
